sometimes you just gotta forget what society says and push away the haters and do what you love no matter what!

As a trans man, I’ve grown up pretty much controlled by my dysphoria. I wouldn’t touch anything that made me seem less “manly”. I forced myself to give up hobbies and interests and all sorts of things… but after a couple years it got really exhausting… I didn’t want to force myself to act like a cis man x100 just to be treated like a normal person. If a cis guy can like feminine or non-traditionally-masculine things, why can I? Ever since I started thinking that, I started being way more comfortable with myself. I still do things to pass as a guy though, and I still dress very masculine since that is how i am most comfortable. But I won’t let my dysphoria control me so much anymore, and I think that’s an important lesson a lot of trans guys need to hear. Do what makes you happy!! Be proud of who you are!!!

anyway, I made this comic/doodle compilation bc I headcanon a lot of characters as trans like lemmy and roy. it’s mostly a lot of self projecting but…… yeah. I tried to show the Trans Experience with this comic. Ngl, dysphoria got me down a lot when i was younger… the only thing that kept me going was support from my family, and I can imagine the koopalings doing the same. Being trans isn’t just a miserable experience though, I have felt so happy finding who I am and finding people who support me. It’s so amazing and I’m so proud of every trans person out there!

dont tag as ship. also please remember this is just all headcanons

Can't afford art school?

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

where is that cat with the kind and reassuring face

I’ve been watching a lot of Game grumps lately and it inspired me to draw more Kirbies as well as a lovely Not-So-Grump!
